I've cleaned up the nut groove with a very fine sandpaper then lubricated with graphite and given some time to settle. Now the string keeps in tune after bending even a tone and a half! Looks like magic! Thank you all guys! You've been of great help!

Thanks iiipopes. I owe you a dollar. It's a plain 17. I think I'll try easier solutions by now, such as better wraping, graphite lubricant and so. I don't dare to handle the saddles nor the pole pieces!

Thanks for your help! The string goes flat, sometimes even a half tone! On the other hand, I apologize if my question is not in the proper forum but admit that its title is a bit confusing! Kind regards.

Hi all! Does anybody has the same problem? The G string in my 330 goes out of tune almost all of the time, mainly after bendings. It happens also in the D but it is not so remarcable as is in the G.
